Description
ARC Meningitis Early Alert Pack Meningitis is an inflamation of the meninges, the lining that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Infants, young children and teenagers are most at risk from Meningitis. This low cost child safety product could be a life saver because Meningitis and Septicaemia are not not always easy to recognise in the early stages when symptoms can appear similar to flu.
With expert information about the disease provided by The Meningitis Trust, The Arc Early Alert Pack is a comprehensive way to identify whether a rash and other symptoms are indicators of meningitis and septicamia.
Over half of all parents in a recent survey (June 2006) could not name three symptoms of either viral or bacterial meningitis, yet it kills more under 5’s than any other infectious disease in the UK. The Arc Early Alert Pack can help parents quickly identify early warning signs, and in particular help detect the most distinct sign of meningococcal septicaemia, a rash that does not fade under pressure.
Compact in size, the Arc Early Alert Pack, can be easily stored within a medical cabinet, first aid kit or be taken on journeys to provide reassurance and accurate information for anyone who suspects meningitis at any time.
- A reusable device to help identify the rash associated with meningitis and septicaemia
- Expert information on the early signs of meningitis and septicaemia, provided by the Meningitis Trust
- Key emergency and support service contact numbers
